Indian Blue Robin (Larvivora brunnea)

Indian Blue Robin (Larvivora brunnea) near Thattekad Bird Sanctuary, Kerala, India. February 2015. Not baited. Not called in.

Clearly one the most good-looking passerine I have ever seen, this male Indian Blue Robin (Larvivora brunnea) is a superb bird. With its orange belly and white eyebrow it reminds me the male Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) we can see in Europe.

The Indian Blue Robin is a migratory species. It spends the winter in the forests of the Western Ghats.

Love Nature.
